Diego R. (Original Post) – Rules and Laws accomplish only one thing: they point out a problem in society. However, rules and laws, rarely if ever prevent the problem that they are suppose to address. Driving speed limit laws are a prime example of the failed logic of laws. Instead of creating laws that address the problem its more logical to address the cause of the problem. Example: Instead of speed limit laws, we design cars that have a GPS system connected to the cars main computer that regulates your top speed based on speed limit, traffic and driving conditions. I addition, these cars would have sensors that would enable it to become aware of other vehicles and objects on the road and react to any sudden changes to the driving environment. Using this method as a logical response to the thousands of automobile accidents every year, the accident rate would be in the double, if not single digits (or zero), every year.

RE: Brandy – I have to politely disagree with this. Every law may not be followed or prevent “bad” from happening. However, they serve as a deterrent. In your example, if we built cars with GPS that regulated speed there would be a few problems. Not only would the cost of such said device bea burden on most American’s but in the event of an emergency one’s life would be in the control of a machine – not their own hands. I personally feel that designing such said device is demeaning. Driving includes many responsibilities, one of which is driving at a reasonable speed. If there were a logical response like the ones you have mentioned below we would not live in a world of free choice, but in a world where all is black and white and there are no decisions to make because they are all made for us.

RE:RE: Diego R. - ” In your example, if we built cars with GPS that regulated speed there would be a few problems.”
- I thought you were disagreeing with me?

Answer this question: Do we have the resource available to make the transition to a the type of automobile transportation I am referring to? When you look into it, the answer is yes, we do have the technology and resources to accomplish such tasks.

” Not only would the cost of such said device bea burden on most American’s…”
- Like previously mentioned, money shouldn’t be the question, the question should be, “do we have the resources”. During WWII America produced ~3000 planes in 1940 while by 1944 that number had jumped to ~90,000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_aircraft_production_during_World_War_II) ; but America didn’t have the money for such expansion, however, it did have the resources for such a increase in production. If the economy where to collapse today there would still be teachers that would be willing to teach, workers willing work, and you would still see food in stores, cars in dealer lots, and electronics at best buy, but no money to acquire those items (that’s what happened during the great depression). Something is definitely wrong with this monetary system we have today, the so called “Fractional Reserve System”. Do you know how money is expanded (or created)? Please watch at least the beginning of this film (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7065205277695921912#) it will outline the process of money creation in our fractional reserve system.

“but in the event of an emergency one’s life would be in the control of a machine – not their own hands.”
- Have you ever heard of air bags, anti-lock break system, smart all wheel drive systems or seat belts ? Let’s start with air bags, would you trust yourself to be able to deploy an airbag at the right moment before a crash ? Would you trust yourself to be able to break with just enough pressure during an emergency situation so that you may avoid your car skidding ? Would you trust your self to dynamically manage the power to each wheel on your car in an emergency situation? Would you trust yourself to lock your seat belt right before a collision? It’s obvious that we don’t have the capacity to react properly to emergency situations but we have technology that far surpasses our ability to manage a car during an accident. I am sure you trust the previously described technology with your life everyday when you travel in an automobile.

“I personally feel that designing such said device is demeaning”
- Demeaning? Do you think a calculator is “demeaning” because it does something that most people can not do with ease? Do you think a computer is “demeaning” because it has the ability to do many different forms of calculations in speeds that are impossible for a human being to consciously achieve? You think the current safety technology in cars today that I described in the above response is “demeaning” because it sometimes saves peoples lives?

“Driving includes many responsibilities, one of which is driving at a reasonable speed.”
- You can’t trust people to be responsible drivers as the monthly death rate of car accidents continues to show.

“If there were a logical response like the ones you have mentioned below we would not live in a world of free choice, but in a world where all is black and white and there are no decisions to make because they are all made for us.”
- First of all, there are logical responses to problem of car accidents as I have clearly described one in the original post. Decisions are made for you today without any concern for your opinion. Did you EVER vote to knowingly raise your taxes, the price of Oil, how much of your income tax should go to the national debt that is owed to the federal (private) reserve, or to go to war?

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. – Jiddu Krishnamurti .

At the last meet up, we discussed compiling street interviews into a video that will be sort of a trailer for Z-day. I will mix the street interview with some footage from last year’s Z-day among other things. Nathan B, one of our member, has come up with a Rap that is related to the movement that might also play a part in the video.

We will also be helping with the filming of…

The street interviews and Global ZM Video Project will be held on FEB. 13th at 11am.

Location: 41 Union Square West, Star Bucks

Here are some of the questions people have submitted for the street interview:

1. What would you like to change in the world and why?

2. Do you think that most ppl in the world want peace? If yes, then why do you think we don’t have peace yet?

3. Do you think war solves anything?

4. Who do you think is affected by war the most?

5. Out of the billions of ppl in the world today, what percentage do you think benefits from war?

6. Do you think that the government that is supported by tax dollars, has far more advanced technology than the general public has been made aware? If yes, do you think this technology can be applied to benefit humanity? Do you think they eventually will use it to benefit humanity?

7. Why do you think so many ppl are so sick with diseases and go hungry and are left with no shelter when our technology has advanced?

8. Do you think that ppl need governments? If yes, for what purpose?

9. What do you think would happen if there were no monetary system in today’s technologically advanced world?

10. What do you feel is the most important issue in the world right now?

11. What rights should people be born with according to their society?

12. How Can We End World Poverty?

Today’s meeting went really well. For those of you who could not attend, we will be posting updates regarding today’s meeting and any future meeting leading up to z-day and beyond.

• We introduced ourselves.
• We talked about z-day events.
• We decided on ZTGM.org as our gateway domain for future campaigns. The website is currently redirecting to the global page but in the near future we are gonna make a custom portal for everything Zeitgeist Movement.
• We decided that for our next meeting we will film street interviews for a Promotional Trailer for Z-day.
• We talked about the email campaign which is going to be facing some upgrades. I have setup a emailing system which I will describe in details soon, that will allow us to input contacts from various key contact sources in society and one click email the who list of emails instead of one by one.

It was nice to meet everyone! See you all soon.

-Diego R.

We are going to be setting up a meet and greet before the main event to get everyone familiar with each other. The date for the meeting will be agreed upon after we get a few volunteers.

At 3 PM you can listen to the radio address and chat with other listeners at the PETER JOSEPH’s BLOG TALK RADIO page.

Instructions: In order to get the maximum response from the establishment (doctors, teachers, politicians, police, non profits and ect…) we must address the target audience by name. Because the sound of your own name is the sweetest sound, and it automatically becomes a personal issue and therefore much higher chance of response. Please make sure that every individual is addressed by his or her name.

Because the letter is written in this way, we are only asking that every member of zeitgeist emails 10 letters (if you wish to do more that’s ok) we currently have just over 360,000 member, given that optimistically let’s say 100,000 of the members will actually do this, we can expect 1 million emails. For now that is not a great number but its ok, and it should be enough to make a commotion. If we can get 10,000 (1% of the emails) people in the educational establishment talking, they will do the marketing for us and spread our ideas.

Stage 1 we are only emailing university professors.

Stage 2 we email the media, with focus on the independent media.

Stage 3 email teachers in grade schools (1-12 grade school).

Stage 4 we email members (especially leaders) of other organizations trying to help the world.

Stage 5 we email the politicians.

Stage 6 we email doctors and lawyers (private practice establishment).

Stage 7 we email the police.

For stage 1 & 2 it is preferred that the people doing the emailing actually attend those schools, but it is not necessary.

Letter to Professors

STEP 1

Search for Universities Professors email in your area. Normally the school lists a directory of staff contact information on their websites.

STEP 2

Send the Professor an email similar to the below formats to get them to interact with the movement. ( Make sure the Professor hasn’t already been contacted by checking the SPREADSHEET that contains a list of contacted Professors )

STEP 3

Once you have contact a particular University Professor you can use this FORM to update this SPREADSHEET that will keep an updated list of all the professors and Universities that have been contacted.

STEP 4

Repeat steps 1-3 as many time as you would like.

Dear  (Subject’s Name)

My name is (Your Name)

I’m emailing you today because I’m seeking your advice. I always felt deeply about helping society and I recently looked in to joining an organization that is dedicated to making this world a better place. However I’m puzzled by some of the concepts and theories they present as solutions to global problems.  A lot of it seems contradictory to everything I have learned in school and in life. But when I analyzed their concepts they seem to be logically correct. I’m a bit confused as to how I should proceed with what potentially can become my life’s work. I have attached a guide that contains an overview of their ideas. More information can be found on their website: www.ZTGM.org. I would really appreciate if you could take a look at some of their ideas and advise me as to how I should proceed with my education and career.

Thank you in advance

Sincerely (Your Name)

I’m emailing you today because I’m seeking your advice. I always felt deeply about helping society and I recently inquired about an organization that is dedicated to socioeconomic change.  I have considered their concepts and quite honestly they seem to be logically correct. I honestly feel that by applying some of the concepts presented to me, that it is quite possible to develop long term sustainable solutions to some of the worlds most perplexing and difficult issues.

I have attached a guide that contains an overview of their ideas. More information can be found on their website: www.ZTGM.org. I would really appreciate if you could take a look at some of their ideas and provide feedback as to how you view the material.
